    From the Wapo report:

    > Canadian officials who traveled to New Delhi for meetings with Doval and others said they were greeted with denials of Indian involvement and lectures on alleged Sikh terrorism.
    Canadian intelligence agencies saw a surge in communications from Indian officials in Delhi to Indian diplomats in Ottawa conspicuously professing ignorance about who was responsible for Nijjar’s killing — exchanges that Canadian officials came to regard as disinformation intended to be intercepted and confuse investigators, officials said.
    The standoff eased over the ensuing months, officials said, as Modi officials facing U.S.-provided evidence came to realize that their denials were untenable. There are indications that India planned a broader wave of killings in the United States and Canada.

    Is this why Indians are spamming shit about Khalistani flags on here today?

  3. Does anyone know how many foreign governments have boots on the ground committing violence here in Canada? I’ve started losing track after the big 5 India, China, Iran, Eritrean, Palestine.

  4. Canada doesn’t deal with it’s own activists operating in Canada against Canadians… what do they expect them to do about activists in other countries??

  5. What?! You don’t say! This is a shock! The community is in an uproar!

    Honestly, except for family, nobody really cares. They already knew this.

    Distraction at best.

    “Officials told The Post of a private meeting in New Delhi in September between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Joe Biden, in which the U.S. said it would refrain from punitive responses but pushed India to hold those responsible accountable.”

    This would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. Modi knows he can get away with literal murder now, and the West will bend over for him because they need India to counterbalance China.

    It’s a sad fact but Canada is pretty popular place across secret services and spies from almost all countries around the world, our promixity to the US, unguarded borders and free travel laws between (it’s not like it’s viable or possible to guard pr cancel all free trade and travel agreement’s between us, considering how we’re bond together anyway), easy immigration laws, pretty passive attitute towards Visas etc., the sizes and ruralfication that makes us an easy target for them to hide and escape – we’re a breeding and training ground for spy agencies around the world, not only Indian.

    CIA, GRU, MSS, Mossad, MI6, DGES and the rest of the marvel team – all of them consider us as a vacational spot, or simply a place where their agents can hide or use us as a transfer point before they get to or out of the US.

    If you studied the Cold War, where did most of the Soviet spies escaped before being extracted back home? Little tip – it wasn’t Mexico, eventho it’s a pretty obvious option in this case.

  8. There’s a notable lack of outrage from PP and conservatives about India killing a Canadian inside Canada.

    I understand it’s not as big a deal as negative press in the Chinese chat app WeChat about MP Michael Chong, but seems like something they should be concerned about.
